Stitching in colour: Shopping bag

Introducing a new interest of mine: Sewing. My grandmother was a seamstress, though I never got the chance to learn anything from her due to her very early death. Nevertheless, my mum believes I've inherited some of her talents. I hope she's right.

This shopping bag was made during a patchwork vacation. The pattern was not my invention, so I only take credit for the execution.

When I saw that pink flower fabric, I knew it was love. What about you?
